I spoke with Gotsdiner today, a managing partner of this law firm, and he is EXTREMELY rude, arrogant, and ornery! His demeanor reeks of a superiority complex. I needed assistance on a legal matter through my pre-paid legal services. He got on the phone without even a salutation! He immediately says, they could not find a referral attorney for my legal matter. He told me to go to the Iowa Bar Association and find an attorney on my own. Imagine a law office with lawyers allegedly with all areas of practice saying they can’t provide you with an attorney who practices what would presumably fall under real estate law. He continued to aggressively overstate that they can’t find an attorney or make an attorney take my case, and he’s not going to answer a bunch of questions on my legal matter. He unnecessarily stressed that I needed to find an attorney who could take my case and stated that rather than hang up on me, I needed to find one on my own. I was appalled at the way I was being spoken to unprovoked. While he went on this rant, I was mostly silent because I was so taken aback that my mouth was agape and just totally aghast. He also told me they do not have to provide me with a referral attorney. The whole purpose of having pre-paid legal services is to be able to get legal advice on legal matters when and if they arise. If they cannot provide you with legal representation, they can refer you to an attorney who can. Imagine a managing partner arrogantly and rudely telling you that he will not provide you with any of the things that are specifically mentioned in what they are supposed to provide. I am appalled and disgusted by the way this man spoke to me today. I will certainly be canceling my pre-paid membership and implore anyone considering pre-paid legal services or Gotsdiner in the state of Iowa to reconsider another option. Such as the bar association, as I was so rudely referred to.
Daniel Rothman was the best legal representation I could have had. From beginning to end he was transparent and detailed with all the information pertaining to my case. He worked hard to cover all the facts and delivered with the best possible outcome. Rest assured your legal matters will be addressed in a responsive and professional manner.
The lawyers at this firm are extremely rude, condescending, and apathetic. They overtalk you, use loud tones and come off as very superior. There are other firms out there that will take time to listen to you and are willing to help you out. Go there and avoid this place!
Frank Steinbach has been my go-to attorney for both personal and business matters for years. I worked with a few attorneys prior to Frank, so I do have experience elsewhere, but they didn't produce the results Frank has, nor did I feel they had my best interest in the forefront like Frank has over the years. He's personable, and he will shoot you straight, even if it means he makes less money. That's one of the things I've appreciated the most over the years. He has a wealth of knowledge and information, but his guidance has always been spot on in the times that I've really needed it. If you're looking for an attorney, I would look no further!
Frank is very informative and doesn't sugar coat it. I have used Frank a couple times and he has always been up front with me. He works hard to get you the best deal. Frank communicates with you even if it seems like a stupid question he will listen and tell you the best way to handle your problems.
